My house is almost 85 years old, and it still has some of its old features, such as the old exhaust fan in the kitchen. Chris was trying to figure out what to do about it, and thought that taking it out completely and covering that space up would be best in terms of winter drafts in the kitchen and making sure that old wiring wasn't a fire hazard. It was an interesting job, I thought. Here's what it looked like from the inside (with the door flap open on the outside.)
And here's what it looked like from the outside, once Chris started taking it out. It was really dirty and gross.
I know it's a bit strange to be documenting this so much, but I was fascinated with what he was doing. So, here's the hole in my kitchen, soon to be covered up and painted over.
Here it is on the inside, covered up and waiting for Chris to paint it tomorrow. As it turns out, he's going to paint my kitchen (after we briefly negotiated on price), as I don't have the exact same green in kitchen paint to cover up this spot. Well, the green parts of the kitchen need it (I added some terra cotta color when I first moved in), and he's going to do the ceiling as well. Tomorrow and Friday will be good days for this since it's going to rain.
